Just a curiosity if mine. Why would you add the filter? The stock spinner has no restrictions, so this being a restriction will decrease oil pressure. The stock pumps are anemic, this may tax it even more. I am also curious why people add oil coolers, the guys that race these don’t use oil coolers, at least by me. My race bike uses the stock oiling system, with no issues. Todd Henning Racing which is one of the premiere cb350 and cb450 race parts companies doesn’t sell any oil mods. These bikes only real oiling issues is they burn up the cam and rocker. For that point alone I would try to eliminate restrictions.
I've spoken with multiple people that have run them on the street and not had issues. It will be nice to run synthetic oil now as well. I plan on keeping the bike and think it's good insurance
@@andrewf8486 synthetic oil has detergents that keep debris and particles from sticking to the filter cup. Conveniental oil is mineral based and helps the debris to stick.
I run this conversion for over 10 years now on the street... Together with full synth oil (after a full rebuild including new cam and followers). Oil comes out much cleaner and no sludge in the engine anymore. No cam problems so far and the lobes and followers still look brand new.
Not as much.. Synthetic oils have detergents in them that keep particles afloat. The spinner likes mineral oils because it needs particles to clog together.
99%+ of the oils sold have a detergent package added. You have to search to find non-detergent oils. It does not matter if synthetic or pumped from the ground, centrifugal force will spin the particles whether they are clumped or floating all by them self. Centrifugal filters are surprisingly effective. It is an interesting product, but may not even be necessary. Half a century of production vehicles ran without any filter at all. The 350 does not have 'plain' bearings which are more particular about the quantity of particles floating around in the oil. Ball and roller bearings are more forgiving and are not pressure lubricated, having oil 'drizzled' onto the caged components. There is pressure to the cam and rockers in the 350, and the cams run in plain bearings. I do not see the need for the grub as the area around the filter housing will be sealed by O-rings. Been too long since I have looked inside...
Great tutorial!

@@xxDOTH3DEWxx what would be the issue with running synthetic oil with the spinner?

I run synthetic oil and the spinner cup still grabs all muck same as when I used mineral ?
